: The development of a five-in-one vaccine microneedle patch (five-in-one MN patch) aims to address challenges in administering vaccines against Diphtheria (DT), Tetanus (TT), Pertussis (wP), Hepatitis B (HBsAg), and type b (Hib). Combining multiple vaccines into a single patch offers a novel solution to improve vaccine accessibility, stability, and delivery efficiency, particularly in resource-limited settings. : The five-in-one MN patch consists of four distinct microneedle arrays: DT and TT vaccines are coated together on one array, while wP, HepB, and Hib vaccines are coated separately on individual arrays.

Background: A resurgence of pertussis has increased the demand for low-cost vaccines. The aim of this study was to test the immunogenicity of a booster acellular monovalent pertussis vaccine containing reduced-dose (2 μg) recombinant pertussis toxin (PT) and 5 μg filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA; ap) against a version of ap containing tetanus and reduced-dose diphtheria toxoids (Tdap) and a licensed vaccine containing chemically detoxified PT and FHA combined with tetanus toxoid and reduced-dose diphtheria toxoid (Tdap).
Methods: This phase 2/3, observer-blinded, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial was done in adolescents aged 9-17 years at two clinical research centres in Bangkok and Pathum Thani, Thailand.

This phase 1 trial assessed the safety and immunogenicity of an investigational tetanus/diphtheria/acellular pertussis vaccine combined with CpG 1018 adjuvant 1500 μg (Tdap-1018 1500 μg) or 3000 μg (Tdap-1018 3000 μg) in adults and adolescents. In this randomized, active-controlled, multicenter, dose-escalation trial, healthy participants aged 10 to 22 years received 1 dose of Tdap-1018 1500 μg, Tdap-1018 3000 μg, or Boostrix. Geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and booster response rates (BRRs) for antibodies against pertussis (pertussis toxin, filamentous hemagglutinin, pertactin), tetanus, and diphtheria antigens, and neutralizing antibodies against pertussis toxin were assessed 4 weeks after vaccination.
